New life for the good book

The Bible and its many stories are taking on many new looks. A sampling:

¢ The Deliverance Game ($39.95). This action-packed game for your PC focuses on the story of Aaron and Moses. Players battle to free the Israelites from slavery, part the Red Sea and unleash plagues. “It’s our answer to Grand Theft Auto,” said Don Triezenberg, founder of the company that created the game.

¢ The Brick Testament. A Web site and series of books created to illustrate biblical stories using characters and scenes constructed with LEGO parts. The series, which premiered and has been updated frequently, was created by Brendan Powell Smith, who goes by the name “The Reverend.” (thebricktestament.com)

¢ GoBible. ($99.95). An MP3 player, loaded with the King James or New King James versions of the Bible, fits easily in a shirt pocket. “There is a real revolution in technology and communication under way, and people are applying new technologies to deliver the word of God,” said creator Andrew Block.
